Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister Chapter 460

At the beginning, the dormitory built by the Red Sausage Factory consisted of two rows of bungalows, a total of 20 houses, and each room had a large heated kang, which was more than enough to sleep ten people. Since Sun Manhong came, Liu Shuangli It was simply handed over to Sun Manhong. Sun Manhong divided Li Dayan and Wang Dafen into two houses, but instead of one house for each family, the men lived in one house and the women lived in one house.

At the beginning, Yu Xiaolian told Liu Shuangli that men and women cannot live together here, they must be separated. Women live in the front row of rooms, and men live in the back row. Liu Shuangli kept it in mind and told Sun Manhong this point, so Only then did the whole family not live together.

  However, Li Dayan and Wang Dafen did not have any objections to the room allocated by Sun Manhong.

  Except for Sanni, who is only seven years old, the other four are all ten-year-old naughty boys. What worries do they have?

  Besides, the sons avoid their mothers. They wish they could live separately from their sons. In the past, the house was small and the whole family had to sleep together on the kang. Now they can sleep separately, which is what they wished for!

  Li Dayan asked several children to put the clothes they brought in their own room, then waved his hand and began to arrange work for them.

"Da Niu, Er Niu, you two are chopping firewood, Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, you two will help me and your mother, we will wash the pigs in the water later, and the water will have to be changed several times, and you two will be responsible for pouring out the dirty water. Come back with fresh water!"

  After Li Dayan made arrangements, the children agreed with a smile. They each ate two steamed buns and drank a bowl of vegetable and egg soup. Now they are full of strength, so they should help with some work.

   "Uncle, what am I doing?" Chen Sanni raised her head and asked Li Dayan.

  Li Dayan smiled softly and bent slightly, "You will be responsible for lighting the fire for us in a while, okay?"

   "Yeah!" Zhao Sanni nodded vigorously. When she was at home, she often helped to light the fire, and she knew how to do this!

  Yu Xiaolian and Sun Manhong talked about gossip all afternoon, and she was a little impatient until night fell and the grass roots hadn't returned.

  Wuyuan Mountain is not close to here, but it is not far away. Why hasn't the grassroots come back yet?

   Was it delayed by something?

  Yu Xiaolian decided to wait patiently.

  In the evening meal, there were three dishes and white rice. Almost everyone was very satisfied.

   There are also some women who barely ate a bite, put the food into the clay pots they brought, and hurried home.

  Yu Xiaolian pulled Liu Shuangli again, and told him about delivering goods to the restaurant tomorrow, until she finished explaining everything she wanted to tell, and she didn't see the grassroots coming back.

  Yu Xiaolian couldn't wait any longer, she had an intuition that something might have happened, she glanced at her watch, it was almost eight o'clock at night.

  Grassroots knew that she was waiting for her, and would not delay at all. Now that he has not come back in time, something must have happened.

  Yu Xiaolian decided to ask Liu Shuangli to send someone to drive her back to the city.

   As soon as the carriage was not far from the red sausage factory, it met the oncoming carriage on the road.

  By the moonlight, Yu Xiaolian saw that the carriage on the opposite side looked like Su Jingchen's.

   "I'm here!" Yu Xiaolian shouted.

  She didn't see the driver very clearly, so she hesitated a bit when she shouted.

   "Ma'am?"

   "It's me, you are Fugui's son?" Yu Xiaolian recognized Fugui's voice.

   "It's me, ma'am, the master asked me to pick you up!"

   "Where is the grassroots? Why didn't he come? Did something happen to him?" Yu Xiaolian kept thinking that something had happened to the grassroots.

  Her intuition has always been accurate.

  Fugui replied, "Brother Grassroots...he was injured. The ox cart and the meat from the ox cart were all robbed."

   Sure enough, Yu Xiaolian's heart tightened, "It doesn't matter if things are lost, but how about people getting hurt?"

   "The arms and back were cut with a knife, and there was a lot of blood. When I saw him, his whole body was bleeding."

Ever since the grass roots were sent by Su Jingchen to Yu Xiaolian, He Jian has been by Su Jingchen's side all the time. As for wealth and honor, he used to be a servant of the Su family, and Yu Xiaolian seldom talked to him. Fugui's voice is thanks to Fugui's unique duck voice.

  Fugui's male duck voice is so recognizable that it's hard for her not to recognize it.

  Sending Fugui to pick her up indirectly proves that the county government is in a mess now.

  What about He Jian? Su Jingchen should have asked He Jian to pick her up. Where did He Jian go?

  Yu Xiaolian had a bad feeling, "Go back, hurry up!"

  The carriage was almost parked, and Yu Xiaolian couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage. The backyard of the county government office was brightly lit, and people in twos and threes kept shuttling in the yard, walking in a hurry.

   "Where's the master?" Yu Xiaolian grabbed a maid at random and asked.

   "Madam, the master is in the west wing!"

  The west wing is the residence of the male man, is the grassroots still not out of danger?

  Yu Xiaolian ran to the west wing in three steps and two steps.

  There are obviously more people here, and there are several doctors in the yard alone with the medicine boy.

"When did a group of bandits gather over Wuyuan Mountain? If it wasn't for the injury of the entourage of the grandpa's family in Er County, I really don't know that there is actually a group of bandits over Wuyuan Mountain." An old man with a gray beard , stroked his beard and said with emotion.

Another drug boy in the doctor, who looked young, quickly said, "I know these bandits. My father-in-law's family used to live in Wuyuan. Ever since the county magistrate built a cement factory on Wuyuan Mountain, these bandits It must have been a long time since I dared to go down the mountain to make trouble, and now I guess there is nothing to eat in the mountains, so I can't hold back in the mountains."

   "How many bandits are there?" Yu Xiaolian asked immediately when she heard Yaotong's words when she came over.

Yao Tong knew Yu Xiaolian. When the county government set up a free clinic, almost all the doctors in the county were called in to treat common people with fever. Yao Tong also visited the county government frequently. Although he had never spoken to Yu Xiaolian, But he saw her from a distance and knew that she was the wife of County Magistrate Su.

"Ma'am, there were not that many bandits in the past, there were only twenty or thirty people, but now there are a hundred or eighty people, most of them are villagers from the vicinity of Wuyuan Mountain. I went up to the mountain to become a bandit." Yaotong said, and heard from his father-in-law that one of his cousins ​​also went to Wuyuan Mountain to become a bandit.

  Yu Xiaolian frowned, then Wuyuan Mountain is a bare stone mountain, it can be said that there is no grass to grow, why would someone choose to be a bandit den there? Is there another cave in that mountain?

  Yu Xiaolian just wanted to have a closer look with Yaotong when she saw Su Jingchen coming out of the room.

   "How is Caogen?" Just now she heard the old man say that Caogen was only injured, and knowing that his life was not in danger, Yu Xiaolian didn't rush into the house immediately.

   "He has a lot of wounds, but there are no fatal injuries. He just lost a lot of blood and his body is very weak. I'm afraid he needs to rest for a while."

  After Su Jingchen finished speaking, he looked at the medicine boy and asked, "There is almost no grass growing in Wuyuan Mountain. How can they solve the water problem when they live there?"

  Su Jingchen also heard the conversation between Yu Xiaolian and Yaotong in the room, and then came out.

Yaotong recalled what his father-in-law said, and said, "I heard that there is a clear spring in that mountain, which continuously emerges from the ground. The water that emerges is still warm. During drought, everyone has no water to drink. Many people went to the mountains to become bandits just to drink their saliva."

   "Warm water?" Yu Xiaolian was surprised.

   Could it be hot spring water?

   Drinkable hot spring water should be alkaline hot spring, which is rare.

   "Yes, the water is said to be warm all year round, as if there is a fire burning underground." The medicine boy scratched his head, and he didn't understand how hot water came out of the ground.

   "It's not fire, it's magma."

Hot springs are formed because of the magma inside the earth's crust, or accompanied by volcanic eruptions. In extinct volcanic terrain areas where volcanic activities have occurred, the surface of the hot springs has been raised due to the movement of the crustal plates, and there is still uncooled magma under the ground. Continuously release a large amount of heat energy. Due to the heat concentration of this type of heat source, as long as there are pores in the nearby water-bearing rock formation, it will not only be heated to become high-temperature hot water, but most of it will boil into steam. However, most of them are sulfate springs, such as There are very few alkaline clear springs that can be drunk.

  The second is formed by the infiltration cycle of surface water.

  That is to say, when rainwater falls to the surface and percolates downward, the aquifer that penetrates deep into the earth's crust forms groundwater.

The groundwater is heated by the geothermal heat below to become hot water. Most of the deep water contains gases, mainly carbon dioxide. When the temperature of the hot water rises, if there is a dense, impermeable rock layer blocking the way, the pressure will increase. , so that hot water and steam are in a high-pressure state, and they will rush up as soon as there is a crack.

  If Wuyuan Mountain is really an alkaline hot spring, it is really a treasure.

   "Magma?" Yaotong continued to scratch his head, "What is magma?"

  Yu Xiaolian couldn't explain to him in detail, so she had to change the topic, "Do those bandits often come out to do evil?"

  Yaotong nodded, "They always go down the mountain to grab people's food."

   "Are they only robbing food? Are they killing people and setting fire?" Su Jingchen asked.

  Yao Tong said, "Kill, some people want food without giving up their lives, and they refuse to hand over the food obediently, they will kill, but most of them don't rob near Wuyuan Mountain, they go to places farther away.

  This time, I guess the grassroots brother is pulling a cart of flesh by himself, and I'm jealous. "

  Yu Xiaolian felt a little guilty. The fact that the grassroots went to the cement factory to deliver meat was a temporary idea of ​​hers. If it wasn't good, the grassroots would not suffer such a serious crime.

Su Jingchen clenched his fists tightly, Qian Xiancheng didn't tell him that there is such a large bandit group in Yangcheng County, fortunately he got Qian Xiancheng down early, otherwise this old guy might dig something for him pit!

   "Suppress the bandits!" Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian looked at each other and said in unison.

  The two agreed that it is imperative to suppress bandits.

  After sending away several doctors, Su Jingchen called Li Wenyuan to discuss with them how to suppress the bandits.

   It's not easy to suppress the bandits. Under Su Jingchen, there are only twenty-one people under Su Jingchen's command, including yachamen, coachmen, and watchmen.

  The number of bandits was three times that of theirs, and Su Jingchen alone might not be able to wipe out so many bandits.

   Li Wenyuan said, "How about reporting this to King Linzhou and asking him to send troops to suppress the bandits?"

  Su Jingchen pondered for a long time, and said, "No, I have a solution!"

   "Are you going to engage in a sneak attack?"

  Yu Xiaolian guessed that Su Jingchen wanted to engage in a sneak attack, otherwise the possibility of confronting head-on and winning more with less is very small.

  Su Jingchen glanced at Yu Xiaolian, acting like you know me best.

   "How to sneak attack?" Li Wenyuan asked.

  Su Jingchen said slowly, "Occupying a mountain as a bandit is what I fear most is encirclement and suppression by the government.

  In order to prevent the government from encircling and suppressing the mountains, in addition to strengthening the security of the cottages and putting their eyes on the officers and soldiers, the bandits usually secretly make friends with and bribe some local gentry and local officials, and work with them to harm the villagers.

  Because of the collusion between officials and bandits, the government's suppression of bandits is sometimes just empty talk, and even more and more bandits are being suppressed, and the suppression of bandits has never ceased.

   It is precisely because of the bandits that the government can justifiably collect medical insurance fees from the villagers, and it is also able to reach out to the superiors for more money and food to expand local power.

  The head of Wuyuan Town must have secretly colluded with the bandits.

  We can start with him. "

   Li Wenyuan asked suspiciously, "You mean Cao Dewang?"

   If he remembered correctly, Su Jingchen had only met Cao Lichang twice, so how could he conclude that Cao Dewang was a bandit?

Su Jingchen explained, "Wuyuan is sparsely populated, but the crops are almost barren, which shows that the villagers who went up to the mountains to become bandits did not leave their land behind. , will follow the bandits to go out to rob and make trouble, it can be said that half of the people in Wuyuan have bandits, you said that Cao Dewang, as the head of a town, didn't know about it, is it possible?"

  Li Wenyuan nodded, "Then this situation is too unfavorable for us to suppress bandits. I don't know how adults can start with Cao Dewang?"

  Su Jingchen's slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, once... twice... three times...

   "Yes!" The corners of Su Jingchen's lips rose.

  As long as a big family with good money comes to Wuyuan Town, the bandits will definitely get the news soon. If there is a fat sheep delivered to the door, how can the bandits have a reason not to **** it?

  When the main force of the bandits comes down the mountain, they will come to catch the turtles in the urn. At the same time, the troops will be divided into two groups, and a group of people will be sent to end the bandits' lair.

   "But, who will pretend to be a big family?" Yu Xiaolian asked.

   Pretending to be a rich family and waiting for bandits to come to your door is very dangerous.

   "It's easy to find someone who pretends to be a big family, but if there are too many bandits, we may not be able to keep so many people." Li Wenyuan said worriedly.

Su Jingchen said confidently, "Don't forget, there are more than 1,500 people in our cement factory. It's not a problem for us to pick out a few hundred young and strong ones. As long as these bandits dare to come down the mountain, we can kill as many as they come. , Make sure they come and go!"

  Su Jingchen smiled,
